Description
The ENVOY Distal Access (DA) Guiding Catheter is a variable stiffness, braided catheter with a large non-tapered lumen that facilitates the intravascular passage of interventional devices. The distal segment is flexible for navigation into distal vasculature. The catheter has an outer hydrophilic coating on the outer surface that reduces friction during manipulation in the vessel. The lubricious PTFE lined inner lumen is designed to facilitate movement of the guide wires and other devices. A luer fitting located on the end of the catheter hub can be used to attach accessories. The distal section of the catheter is radiopaque to aid visualization under fluoroscopy, and the distal tip is clearly distinguished by a radiopaque marker-band which is approximately 3mm from the distal tip. The catheter is available with preshaped tips to facilitate positioning. A peel away introducer is included to facilitate insertion into the sheath.
